Synology Hyper Backup can backup to WebDAV servers. Stack has support for WebDAV but They don’t seem to like each other. If you follow a few Dutch forum threads (12 ). Users mention that the use of Sparse files is the problem. Hyper Backup creates a Sparse file in WebDAV backups in nas_1.hbk/Pool/bucketID.counter.1

The filename tells us that it’s used as a counter. After creation of the backup task it seems to be empty (I tested this with another WebDAV server 😉 ). If we manually try to upload this file to Stack we receive an error. “Method not allowed”
